Ray Winstone Quotes

Frank Costello I'm going to have my associate search you.

Billy Costigan No, no one's fucking searching me. Searching me for what?

Frank Costello Contra-fucking-band. Take your shoes off.

Mr. French Shoes.

Frank Costello I knew your father.

Billy Costigan Yeah? You know he's dead?

Frank Costello Oh, sorry. How'd he go?

Billy Costigan He didn't complain.

Frank Costello Yeah, that was his problem.

Billy Costigan Who said he had a problem?

Frank Costello I just said he had a fucking problem. There's a man who could have been anything.

Billy Costigan Are you trying to say he was nothing?

Frank Costello I'm saying he worked at the airport.

Mr. French He's clean.

Frank Costello Arm.

Billy Costigan Arm? What fuckin arm?

Mr. French Show me your arm. Flip it. mmhmmm, mmhmmm...

Frank Costello It makes me curious to see you in this neighborhood.

Mr. French He's clean.

Frank Costello And if I can slander my own environment, it makes me sad. This, uh, regression. Plus, I don't know if it's beyond some fucking cop prick like Queenan to pull you out of the Staties and send you gift-wrapped to me. I just can't know. I wonder what they do in that particular department, anyway.

Frank Costello Are you still a cop?

Billy Costigan No!

Frank Costello Swear on your mother's grave. You're still not a cop?

Billy Costigan I'm not a fucking cop!

Frank Costello Are you going to stop doing coke deals with your jerk-off fucking cousin?

Billy Costigan Yes, yes, yes!

Frank Costello All right, all right. It's okay. You'll be be all right. Get your hand taken care of.

Frank Costello I'm sorry, but it was necessary. As for our problem with Providence - let's not cry over some spilled guineas.

Dad I don't fucking need this, Tom. I don't understand this. You know it hurts us. Are you just Iying or do you believe it? It's gotta stop. Can't have it, mate. Sorry I smacked you, but you hurt me. You don't know how feel. Mummy's all upset... Is it an attention thing. Alice...is that what it is? Sometimes it happens when a baby comes along. You know, it's the facts of life. I'd never put you in a home. I love you, I'd never put...

Mr. French Do you know me?

Billy Costigan No. No.

Mr. French Well, I'm the guy who tells you there's guys you can hit and guys you can't. Now, that's not quite a guy you can't hit, but he's almost a guy you can't hit. So I'm gonna make a fuckin ruling on this right now: you don't fucking hit him. You understand?

Billy Costigan Yeah, excellent. Fine, fine. Fine.

Mr. French I fucking know you. I know your family. You make one more drug deal with that idiot, fucking cop-magnet of a cousin and I'll forget your grandmother was so nice to me. I'll cut your fucking nuts off. You understand that?

Billy Costigan Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Mr. French What are you drinking?

Billy Costigan Cranberry juice.

Mr. French What is it, your period? Get him a cranberry juice.

Tubal-cain I have men at my back and you stand alone and defy me?

Noah I am not alone.

Tubal-cain I told you: I’m not afraid of miracles.

Floria It's perfect. Everything in here is so perfect.

Elodie Stepmother. Is something the matter?

Lady Bayford Elodie. I know we haven't always been close, but I need you to listen to me now. This wedding... is a mistake.

Floria What?

Elodie I don't understand.

Lady Bayford These people, I don't trust them. It's hard to explain, but a mother knows these things.

Floria Only yesterday, you were enamored by this place.

Elodie Floria.

Lady Bayford I was wrong. They may be royalty, but that doesn't make them good people.

Elodie Well, what does father think?

Lady Bayford He refuses to talk about it. And when I try to tell him my worries, he snaps at me.

Floria That's because you're being unreasonable.

Elodie That's enough, Flor'.

Lady Bayford Elodie, I swear, I only want what's best for you.

Lord Bayford Am I interrupting something?

Elodie No. Just... girl talk.

Lord Bayford Well, tomorrow's a big day, and these girls need their rest.

Lady Bayford Think about what I said. There's still time.

Lord Bayford Time for what?

Lady Bayford I hope you know what you're doing.

Lord Bayford Good night, my angels.

Elodie and Floria Good night, father.

Lord Bayford Good night.

Tom Ripley You're not planning on singing me through the door, are you?

Reeves I've got the Carregio in here.

Tom Ripley Well, you're not coming in.

Reeves I'm fucking coming in.

Tom Ripley No, because it's not a Carr-egg-io, it's a Correggio. Just like it's not tacco but ta-a-cco. Not pasto but pasta, see? Your entire education comes from classic car magazines and you dress like you're on a condom run for the mob. By the way, it isn't a Correggio, it's a fake Rembrandt, and until you know that, you're not coming in with me.

Reeves Don't fuck me over here, prat!

Tom Ripley Don't threaten me. I'm not the one wearing an earring.

Lord Bayford We need this. Our stores are empty. We will not make it to the thaw. Your people need you. This is who we are.

Ray I'll fight for you... I'll fight forever... forever... I love you...

Ray She took his dinner in to him once. Me mum, in the pub, and plonked it in front of him on a tray. Knife and fork, salt and pepper. He said, "What's that?" She said, "It's your dinner. I thought you might be hungry. You ain't eaten for three fucking days. You live in here, you might as well fucking eat in here." It's funny. He didn't like that, did he? Mugged him up in front of his mates. Thought more of them cunts than he did us. Lovely. Yeah. She got a clump over that. Well, she would, wouldn't she? He was always pissed in there, weren't he? You know? We go in the pub to get our living, you know? That's where we do our business. He'd be there ] while we're sitting at home without a dinar, you know, thank you. And he'd promise things. You know? Promise to take us places, you know? Never did. Never took us anywhere. And when he did bother to come home he'd sit in that fucking chair, doss off with his tray in his lap. And I'd just stand there looking at him. I'd look in his face, and my mother'd go upstairs, and I'd say, "Say, Mum, ain't Daddy coming to bed?" And she'd say, "No. No, he's all right, son. He'll come up when he wakes up." He's gotta wake up to go to bed! Now, I'd stand there looking at this fucking old man, you know, my dad, you know, in that chair, that horrible fucking chair with the shiny, worn-out arms. I should've burnt the fucking thing. By the end he was hemorrhaging from both ends, you know? I used to hear him in the morning hanging on to the kharzi. It was lovely. Never stopped him going to the pub, though. No, he was well enough to do that. Now, one day, right, he's staggering across the pub pissed from the night before. He's gone over, crunch, right on ], like a fucking ironing board. ] around here, ] all over the fucking place. Me and me mum had to go the hospital to see him. We walked in. He's laying in bed. He's got tubes up his arms, fucking up his nose, down the back of his Gregory. He didn't look well. Fucking ] was keeping him alive. Well, I ain't that interested, so ], you know. I looked above his bed, and there's this sign, right, with some weird writing on it. I couldn't read too well at the time. I said to my mum, "Mum, what's that say? You know, that sign above Daddy's head." All right? She said, "Nil by mouth." "What's that, a football score?" One-nil, three-nil, two-nil, a geezer called fucking Nil. Yeah. I said, "Well, what's it mean?" She said, "It means...

Mark It means nothing to eat.

Ray Yeah, nothing down the...

Mark Nothing down the... Yeah.

Ray Yeah, all right. I remembered that day, because I could've put that on his fucking tombstone, you know? Because I don't remember one kiss, you know, one cuddle. Nothing. I mean, plenty went down, not a lot came out, you know, nothing that was any fucking good. And I'd look at this man that I call Dad, you know? My father, I knew him as Dad. He was my fucking dad but he weren't like other kids dads, you know? It was as if the word itself were enough, and it ain't.

Mark That ain't when he died though, is it?

Ray No. He lived another ten years, slippery old cunt. He died one afternoon in that fucking armchair. About right. I went around to see him, you know, when he was plotted up at me mother's.

Mark Hatcham Road?

Ray Yeah, Hatcham Road. He was upstairs in that front bedroom. Laid out.

Mark Free.

Ray Yeah. Yeah. I've gone up there, gone in. I'm sitting on the bed looking at him. He's laying there like... Mullered. And it was like he'd shrunk, you know? He was a big man.

Mark He was a lump.

Ray Yeah. You should know. You got enough clumps off the cunt. And I just touched him, you know? He was fucking freezing cold. It frightened the life out of me. I was looking at him, you know? For the first time in my life, I talked to him. I said, "Why didn't you ever love me?

Dad Don't you fucking talk to me! Get to fucking bed! How can you fucking say that to me?! You're fucking sick! You talk to me like that in front of your sister?! You're ill! You go behind my fucking back to your mother. You break this family up and I'll kill you. You're so fucking sick, you're going into care, Son! You're fucking going, you shit! You tell me things like that?! You're a fucking animal. Who the fucking hell are you?! You fucking talk like that? You're fucking ill. You're going to a fucking home. You're fucking scum! What are you doing to me?! What are you fucking doing?! You're fucking killing me. Fucking kid. Fucking animal. How can you talk like that? You go to your mother behind my back and talk shit?! You're fucking sick in the head. Something fucking wrong with you. Two years! Two years I've had this fucking kid. Two schools I've pulled him out of. Fucking trouble. You're breaking my family up, breaking this fucking family up. You break this family up and I swear, I'll fucking kill you. I'll fucking kill you. What are you doing to me? What are you doing to me? I'm going to the hospital... talk to your mother. He's filth. You're going into fucking care. I'll fucking sort this out. Getting fucking paranoid. Everyone's getting fucking paranoid. I can't fucking deal with this.

Lord Bayford I have made a match. A prince.

Ray I don't even wanna be here. Look at this cunt!

Dad See what happens when you put things into people's heads? It steam-rollers on... and other people start to believe it. You gotta get rid of these thoughts, Tom. You gotta stop it. They're wrong, you know they're wrong. You're not sick, you're just, erm... just going through your teens. It happened to me. Are you pregnant? Is that what it is? Is it? See how you can put things into people's heads? I suppose I'll be doing it with him next. You can't keep saying these things, darling.

Gal I'd be useless.

Don Useless?

Gal I would be.

Don In what way?

Gal In every fucking way.

Don Why are you swearing? I'm not swearing.

Tubal-cain The ark, the beasts, and all of your women are now mine. I will build a world in my image!

Tubal-cain The Creator does not care what happens in this world. Nobody has heard from Him since He marked Cain. We are alone. Orphaned children, cursed to struggle by the sweat of our brow to survive. Damned if I don't do everything it takes to do just that. Damned if I don't take what I want.

Tubal-cain I am a man, made in your image. Why will you not converse with me? … I give life, I take life away, as YOU do. I am like you, am I not? Speak to me.

Lord Bayford Elodie. Can you hear me? I have made a horrible, horrible mistake. To sacrifice the one thing I love most. To trade your life for the good of my people. I thought I could take the gold. That I could live with myself. My choice. But I can't. I can't.

Arthur Knights... Brothers and arms... Your courage has been tested beyond all limits.

Bors Yes.

Arthur But I must ask you now for one further trial.

Bors Drink.

Arthur We must leave on a final mission for Rome before our freedom can be granted. Above the wall, far north, there is a Roman family in need of rescue. They are trapped by Saxons. Our orders is to secure their safety.

Bors Let the Romans take care of their own.

Gawain Above the wall is Woad territory.

Galahad Our duty to Rome, if it ever was a duty, is done. Our pact with Rome is done.

Bors Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you. For you. And instead of freedom you want more blood? Our blood? You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours?

Arthur Bors! These are our orders. We leave at first light, and when we return your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can embrace with honour.

Bors I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate!

Tristan Yeah, yeah, we're all going to die someday. If it's a death from a Saxons hand that frightens you, stay home.

Galahad Listen, if you're so eager to die, you can die right now! I've got something to live for!

Lancelot Enough. Enough!

Dagonet The Romans have broken their word. We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough. I'll prepare. Bors, are you coming?

Bors OF COURSE I'M COMING! I CAN'T LET YOU GO ON YOUR OWN, YOU'LL ALL GET KILLED! I'M JUST SAYING WHAT YOU'RE ALL THINKING!

Gal No!

Don Yes!

Gal No!

Don Yes!

Gal No!

Don Fat cunt!

Gal No, No, No!

Don Yes, Yes, Yes!

Frank Costello Do you trust him?

Mr. French Well, these days, who's reliable?

Frank Costello His uncle Jackie was. I don't know...you just can't trust a guy who acts like he's got nothing to lose.

Mr. French I'm reliable.

Frank Costello Arnie, you're one in a million.

Mr. French Ten. Ten million.

Frank Costello What about your wife, Arnie?

Mr. French I thought she was reliable.

Frank Costello She wasn't!

Mr. French ...Well, she got reliable.

Don Talk to me, Gal. I'm here for you. I'm a good listener.

Gal What can I say, Don? I've said it all. I'm retired.

Don Shut up.
